It’s the first smart TV I’ve ever owned, so I haven’t gotten into all the benefits yet. But it’s almost as much a computer as it is a TV.
You remind me of the caterpillar who looks at a butterfly on the wing and says, “You’ll never get me up in one of those things!” :>)
I have a desktop that works fine as a TV...
It’s Linux based and all updates are easily reviewed before application.
